Potatoes, or the portion of the potato plant we eat, are actually roots. As such, they aren't exposed to sunlight, and since chloroplasts require sunlight to convert energy, it makes sense that the potato cell doesn't have any. The green shoots that go above ground for the potato plant do have chloroplast.

What specialized organelle would you expect to find in a potato cell?
The specialized organelle found in a potato cell is an amyloplast. It is responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules.
What plant cell has a large surface area and no chloroplasts?
Potato's because it is underground and doesn't receive any sunlight!!:)
Would you expect to find chloroplasts in a liver cell?
no, unless it gets exposed to the sun in which case it will start growing and develop chloroplasts
What cell has a cell wall without chloroplasts?
animal cells do not have chloroplasts
What kind of cells has chloroplasts?
The only cell that has chloroplasts is plant cell
Where is the thylakiod located in a cell?
The chloroplasts
What kind of cell is a potato?
A potato is not a cell, so a potato is not any kind of cell.
What is the green structure on the elodea cell?
chloroplasts
What is the function of cells without chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts are needed to make food. The cell without chloroplasts do not need them as the cells do not make food, thus chloroplasts are not needed in the cell.
What has a cell wall and chloroplasts?
Plant cells contain both chloroplasts and cell walls. Animal cells have cell membranes instead of cell walls and mitochondria instead of chloroplasts. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria and archaea, may have cell walls, but have no membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplasts.
What do animal cells lack?
They lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.A cell nucleus.
What cell structure is the site of photosynthesis?
chloroplasts hope this helped santiago Chloroplasts
